I'm not aware of any "standards" (though there may be some) other than common sense. Members of these lists frequently say something along the lines of "I posted this three days ago and it never showed up in my inbox." Where did it go? Who knows? Plus Microsoft ain't a trailblazer in security.
IF you used something like PGP, that might be another story, but you said it was clear text.
Call 'em on the phone - but make sure it's on a scrambled line. .-)

What kind of risk do we take if I email an iSeries password to a remote user using my Microsoft Outlook client? Is this forbidden by any standards being that it's clear text?
